New here but just looking for some experience really. Have two buns a dental gassy Mini Rex Primrose who has had multiple bouts of stasis always linked to being due for a dental. And a Lionhead mix rescue Rodney who has never been ill before. They're both roughly 3 years old.
I know all of the signs for Primrose and have all of the meds to start treatment at home. We get metacam and zantac into her. Straight onto critical care and off to the vets for a dental once shes eating independently. She bounces back in a few days with the right medicine and plenty of baby food bribes.
But Rodney we've never had this before. We're on week two of Metaclop, Zantac, Metacam,Baby Gas Drops and critical care.
He eats a bit and is pooping a bit, he never stopped both but everything was slow. Volume of poop is increasing slowly but I feel this may be as I'm getting better at getting more critical care into him.
He's not seen a vet yet as they were happy to prescribe to get him back on track as he was still pooping and he has a fair bit of cecals coming though and hes still eating those. I want to get him in on Tuesday which is when I run out of meds.
He has done some larger poops which seemed to gave hair mats in and he was overgrooming which seems to have settled now.
Has anyone else has to support their bun with feeds this long? Hes in great spirits but we're all exhausted from the medicine and food schedule and my poor DH is covered in scratches.
I've bought fibreplex today to see if it might help us. Hes not drinking a great deal but the critical care I make is pretty loose so I'm thinking he's getting his liquids that way?
He hates anything sweet which is unfortunate because I have apple and banana critical care. Although one of the only things he gobbles is dried plantain but I'm not sure if I should give him too much.
